  9. Amazing - These finds are still out there! .... Im always on the lookout from the road - Just yesterday took the "long way" home and saw a 69 Firebird - 57 Chev Bel Air - and one old like early 50s willys panel just laying around different backyards and driveways.... My little 33 Plymouth Coupe (that Ive always wanted) is still waiting for me to "find it":D

    Nice Poncho! Not a 48, they didn't have ribs on the fenders. 47 maybe? None the less , a nice find. I'm jealous!

    stripped some paint and am pleased at what I found, nice and solid, should be an easy paint job. Oh ya, it is a 47 Tordedo with a flathead 8

    did some more work on the 47 Pontiac, got it ready for paint, started on the interior, and replaced all the brake lines. Should be done real soon.

  23. Nice score! I always liked this body style. Interesting to note that it's more aerodynamic in reverse than it is going forward.
     
  24. nice car-good to see another saved poncho.
